Pension burdens
The IHK Lüneburg-Wolfsburg has suffered from high pension burdens for years. Newly hired employees up to March 2000 were promised to increase their statutory pension to 75% of their last gross salary. The managing director at the time was dismissed after he had concluded a service agreement for the retroactive reduction of these commitments. Insufficient provisions for pension payments and exchange rate losses in the existing reserves caused losses in the millions in 2008.
The full counter-financing of the pension commitments with financial resources was only possible with the 2012 annual financial statements. On January 1, 2014, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the IHK “Pensionstreuhand der IHK Lüneburg-Wolfsburg GmbH” commenced operations. It manages the IHK's pension payments and the financial resources that match them on a fiduciary basis. With this construction, the IHK can make use of the offsetting requirement of Section 246 (2) HGB from 2014 and almost halve its balance sheet total. At the DIHK, you can look up the number of beneficiaries, the amount of the provisions and the location of the pension obligations.
Current projects
The IHK future initiative "hierjetztmorgen" deals with the challenges of demographic change and securing skilled workers. The project work began at the end of February 2014. Together, entrepreneurs, experts from local politics, associations, employment agencies, universities and other initiatives want to set up specific projects to secure skilled workers.
